Dear Ruth,
You and Glenn were the highlight of our trip to Yellowstone. You and Glenn were celebrating your anniversary and Jenny and I were on vacation seeing the West. Glenn was so kind to Jenny. He was so patient with her. What a loving man. I know our Lord will welcome him with open arms.

forever.

Mr Lebrecht also taught me violin in 4th grade at Hillcrest and encouraged me to try the clarinet the next year. I am thankful for the love of music that he began in me. Hillcrest was a special place with very special teachers like Mr Lebrecht. My condolences to you.

Mr Lebrecht was my first music instructor at Hillcrest Elementary (FWCS) and encouraged me to play flute in the band. This was the start of many exciting band memories for me throughout my school years. I have wonderful memories of Hillcrest teachers with him being one. So glad to see that music was a very important part of his life. Condolences to the family on your loss.

Glenn has been a wonderful brother in law and Uncle! Our family has great memories of him playing games with them each time we were together, pulling out his violin and playing with them on their instruments, and always being there when we needed him. He was an example of a person full of love for God and cared deeply for his family. I am sure he is enjoying the orchestra and choirs in Heaven.
